The book is nearly ready...the lovely folks at Arcade Publications have edited, chopped, laid out, illustrated and proofed it to within an inch of its left and it's about to go to print. Expecting a launch in early December, at an appropriately Victorian (in every sense) sort of venue. Edward Oxford is now tweeting @Edward_oxford. he seems to enjoy retweeting his book, his letters and the odd pronouncement of Queen Victoria. He always did have a soft spot for her.
